A menu consultation with the hotel’s culinary team, led by Executive Chef and Director of Food & Beverage Chris Southwick, will ensure the creation of a menu that perfectly represents your taste.

The food and beverage minimum is the least amount of money that you are required to spend on a combination of food and beverage, excluding service charge and sales tax, but it is not all that you could spend. The food and beverage minimum is reached by selecting individually priced, a la carte menu items to equal or exceed the required dollar figure. Food and beverage minimums are based upon the dates selected, seasonality and capacity of the banquet rooms.

The following examples would apply towards the food and beverage minimum: hors d’oeuvres, food display and carving stations, plated or buffet meal, wedding cake, dessert display stations, wine service with the meal, champagne toast, the bar (including alcohol), cappuccino station and any non-alcoholic beverages.

Centerpieces, upgraded linens/china/silverware, décor, and specialty lighting would not apply towards the food and beverage minimum.
